Zagrepčanka, Modern office building in Trnje, Croatia
Zagrepčanka is an office building in the Trnje neighborhood featuring a distinctive white marble facade with green glass panels. The structure rises across more than twenty floors at the intersection of Savska Road and Vukovar Avenue.
The building was designed by architects Slavko Jelinek and Berislav Vinković and opened in 1976 during the socialist period of Yugoslavia. The modern, functional design reflects the architectural trends of that transformative era.
The building exemplifies 1970s modern architecture and shows how Zagreb developed its downtown skyline during that era. Its recognition in Croatia's cultural register reflects its importance to the city's architectural identity.
The building features two underground parking levels and sits at a central intersection with good vehicle access. Visitors should note this is an active office building where access may be restricted.
